Providing support to families facing cancer
The mission of the Paternostro Cancer Foundation is to provide support, including financial, to families facing cancer; to provide scholarships to deserving high school students/athletes; and to keep the memory and spirit of our loved ones alive for their children, friends, and family.
Financial Assistance
Since 2015, the Paternostro Cancer Foundation has made direct payments to utility companies on behalf of families facing cancer in our community.
Harnessing Hope Bags
In 2014, our Foundation began delivering cancer care bags to the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in Williamsport for distribution to newly-diagnosed cancer patients.
Essence of You
In 2021, we teamed up with the Susquehanna Health Foundation to launch Essence of You, bi-monthly health & wellness sessions for patients receiving treatment at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in Williamsport.
K2 Headcovers
2019 marked the beginning of our partnership with Arrow & Thread Handmade Designs. We offer two, free headcovers to female patients experiencing hair loss as a result of cancer treatment.
The Paternostro Cancer Foundation has been serving the Lycoming County region of Pennsylvania since 2013.
